Led by: Rebecca G., nature lover, artist, art teacher, and aspiring nature nerd.
Rebecca quit drawing for over twenty years because of a bad experience in a drawing class. She went on to obtain a BFA in Studio Art from the School of Museum of Fine Arts/Tufts, was awarded numerous grants, and exhibited and sold her art. Yet, she believed she was never going to be good at drawing! Birding and nature journaling have been instrumental in her recovery from a recent brain injury and her path back to the pencil. She’s excited to share nature drawing as a no-pressure, fun “joyful obsession”.
